Such a great cabin and a gorgeous location! We had such a relaxing stay with our pups. The kitchen and cabin are well stocked for all of your cooking needs. The fresh eggs and waffle maker were a nice added bonus. The cabin was very cozy as the weather cooled off around us. 10/10 hope to go again!

Worked out well. Seemed clean and comfortable. Best for a few people since all bends are in one room. Didn’t use any of the amenities so can comment on that.

BUGS!
I completely understand being in a cabin in the woods, you'll share some of you space with critters and cralwies, but this was extreme. There were literally THOUSANDS of lady bugs and stink bugs infesting the entire house. They could be seeing coming in from every seam of the house. The infestation left the entire second floor of the home unusable, which is unfortunately where the only bedroom and shower were located. My wife and I were

The cabin itself was nice but I specifically booked one that had a hot tub and fire place. We couldnt grt the hot tub to work and even if we did the water was green-ish and slimy looking with a bad oder so we wouldn't have got in it anyway. The propane was out so we couldnt get the fire pit on the deck or the gas logs to work. The matresses for the roll out beds were very used and stained. The cabin was fine but I booked for the amenities and none of them worked so very disappointed.
